After bowing, he left the door and closed it behind him. Only when he turned around did he discover that his entire body was drenched in cold sweat. He could not help but let out a long breath and wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead.

Gan Yuxuan sneered. He was able to make Lu Keyu kneel at his feet in horror, without even daring to breathe. Unfortunately, the last time he used the same method, Helian Qingyu could still freely chat and smile.

In the past few years, there had never been a person who could match up to this young man's aura.

Helian Qingyu, you are truly extraordinary!

Gan Zhixuan stood up, walked towards the door, and said, "Gather the hidden guards, we're going to the barracks."

"Yes."

A soft voice came from a corner. Gan Zhixuan walked to the door and saw the white eagle feather standing upright in the middle of the courtyard, slightly raising his head to look at the sky.

Upon hearing the door, White Hawk Yu immediately turned around and kneeled down, "Your subordinate pays his respects to the lord. Your subordinate understands. Please grant me punishment."

Gan Yuxuan didn't even glance at the white eagle feathers. It was as if this person didn't exist. He directly walked in front of the white eagle feathers. The other guards were all kneeling on the ground; not a single one of them had a surprised expression on their faces.

White Hawk Feather hesitated for a moment and saw Gan Yuxuan moving towards the entrance of the mansion, climbing up from the ground and following behind him.

In the military camp, Gan Yuxuan entered the tent and sat down. Today, he didn't summon any of his trusted generals. The people inside and outside the tent were all his trusted aides.

Gan Zhixuan sat alone in the main tent, and there was no one left in the main tent.

After a long while, he finally spoke, "The Blood Transfer Sword and the White Hawk Feather."

"Yes."

Someone had spread the message that the blood sword standing outside the tent had been waiting for a long time with its head bowed. Upon hearing the summons from the Lord, it hurriedly bowed and entered the tent, not daring to raise its head to kneel down heavily.

White Hawk Feather knelt beside the blood sword, kowtowing in apology.

"Yesterday, you sent someone to infiltrate the backyard. Did you think that Helian Qingyu did not discover you?"

"This … this subordinate has made a mistake. This subordinate knows his wrongs, and humbly begs for lord to bestow heavy punishments upon me."

The blood sword touched its forehead to the ground, not daring to say a word.

"Why did Luan City bring the fierce dog to the back room in the early morning? Tell me, White Eagle Feather."

"It's Helian Qingyu who wants to use a fierce dog to protect the courtyard. My Lord, it's this subordinate who wants to persuade the Blood Sword to send people to eavesdrop on Helian Qingyu. This subordinate knows his crimes. We have not reported this to the Lord in advance and have acted in private. This subordinate pleads guilty and requests that the Lord bestow punishment upon us. "

"Do you know what the people you sent out have heard?"

White Hawk Feather's expression suddenly turned awkward. He no longer dared to argue and heavily kowtowed, "Your subordinate has made a mistake. Your subordinate knows his mistake. Your subordinate deserves to die. Please, Lord, please calm your anger and give me heavy punishments."

Bloody Sword was stunned for a moment. In the end, his brain wasn't as good as the White Hawk Feather's, so he didn't understand the meaning of those words. After the person he sent to eavesdrop came back to report to him and White Hawk Feather, he didn't dare to hide the matter from them. He immediately brought the hidden guard he sent to eavesdrop and reported it to Gan Yuxuan.

He remembered how White Hawk Feather had forced a smile and advised him not to report this matter to his lord. How could the blood sword dare to hide anything from Gan Yuxuan?

Acting without permission was a grave crime, and he had not reported it beforehand. Instead, he had obtained the permission of his master to do such a thing. After that, he would hide it and not report it. He was not tired of living.

"This subordinate is slow-witted. Master, please enlighten me."

He knew that the White Eagle Feather understood the meaning of his lord's words. Otherwise, it would not have pleaded guilty to its master's crime.

"The words that the hidden guard came back to speak were clearly beautiful words that Helian Qingyu and those people wanted their lord to hear. They were all lies. That hidden guard went to eavesdrop and was discovered by Helian Qingyu and the others. "

The white falcon said bitterly, lowered its head, and once again heavily kowtowed on the ground, "My lord, it is all because of your subordinate's overweening bravery and carelessness in his actions. Please grant me punishment, my lord."

It was only after listening to White Hawk Feather's words that Blood Sword finally understood the crux of the matter. He also understood why White Hawk Feather had advised him to keep this matter a secret and not report it to his lord.

He lowered his head and kowtowed, "My lord, your subordinate is stupid, and has the grace of my master. No matter how severe the lord's punishment, I do not dare to ask for your forgiveness."

"Why did you report back so early in the morning?"

The blood sword glanced at White Hawk Feather, then lowered his head and stared at the ground again, deeply lowering his head: "This subordinate knows his sin, it's this subordinate's carelessness, acting behind Master's back, this subordinate deserves to die."

"My lord, it was this subordinate who persuaded the Blood Sword to send someone to monitor Helian Qingyu. Afterwards, this subordinate wants to hide this matter from you. This subordinate deserves to die, this subordinate knows his crimes."

White Hawk Feather kowtowed heavily to the ground, he did not dare hope that the blood sword would hide anything from Gan Jianxuan. In front of Gan Jianxuan, there was only half a lie, and instead of waiting for the blood sword to confess, it would be better for him to admit it himself.

"How dare you! How dare you!"

When these words fell into the ears of the blood sword and the white eagle feather, they were like a thunderclap. The two of them could not help but tremble slightly, their foreheads touching the ground as they prostrated themselves. No one dared to raise their head, no one dared to speak.

No one dared to be unafraid of their lord's wrath. They would rather face the enemy's armies and armies than face their lord's wrath.

"What crimes do you two have? Speak for yourselves."

"Subordinate did not report his actions in private, and was careless. Afterwards, he intended to hide the fact that his master was deceiving him." Subordinate did not report his actions in private, and was careless.

The White Eagle Feather lowered his head and spoke a few words, kneeling and not moving at all. One could faintly see that his body was trembling unceasingly.

The blood sword was trembling just like the white eagle feather. It lowered its head and repeated the same words, trying its best to hide the truth.

"What crime?"

As cold as the wind and as cold as the late autumn, Xiao Xiao drilled into the duo's ears.

The two of them trembled. Blood Sword raised his head and looked at Gan Jianxuan, "This subordinate deserves to die. I beg the Lord to be merciful and grant this subordinate the chance to atone for my crimes."

Upon hearing the blood sword's words, the white falcon's heart started to tremble violently. It glanced at the blood sword and slightly raised its head to peek at Gan Shixuan's expression.

Behind the table, the lord's expression was as cold as ever. His deep eyes couldn't see through his thoughts, and he indifferently looked down at the two of them.

Facing Gan Shixuan's gaze, White Eagle Yu hurriedly lowered his head, touching his forehead to the ground, "This subordinate deserves to die, I will allow Master to punish me as he pleases."

"Men, drag the white eagle feathers out and give them a heavy punishment of fifty whips. Kneel outside the tent and don't get up until dark."

"Thank you, Lord, for your grace."

White Hawk Feather did not use servants to drag him out. He knelt and left the tent. He took off his clothes, revealing his back, and knelt outside the tent, waiting for the punishment of the whip.

The blood sword heaved a sigh of relief. Even with such a heavy crime like the White Hawk Feather, his lord had not given him death yet. Perhaps, he could have escaped death.
